Darwins Restaurant — Restaurant in Dublin

We had a superb time at Darwins Restaurant. The atmosphere was classy, warm and inviting, our waiter was very attentive, the cocktails were delicious and generous, and the food was exceptionally good. Though we were a little worried the place would be a little too upscale for young kids - they surprised us with kids menus - including a very excellent kid’s steak that my son loved. And, shall we say, the whole vibe - from the decor to the service - was very lighthearted and humorous! You’ll see what I mean if you go.

Being fans of vegan food - even though we’re not totally vegan - we had to try the vegan steak. I honestly can say that this was one of the best vegan meals I’ve tried anywhere. I would rate it an absolute must visit for vegans staying in Dublin. The buffalo cauliflower was easily the tastiest of any I’ve tried as well.

On a final note, I noted in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. Before I could even approach the wait staff about a birthday dessert, they discreetly approached me and asked if the birthday person was vegan. The little surprise they had for them was really delightful and thoughtful - and funny!

When we return to Dublin, Darwins will definitely be on...

Let me tell you about Darwins. My boyfriend and I stayed in Dublin recently and wanted to go to a nice restaurant on our last night and Darwins was the absolute TOP choice. I looked through so many places and this was the one that stuck with me. The fact that everything is locally sourced is so amazing and such a great aspect. Our server Arthur was so nice and funny and has such a wonderful personality. We met the owner, Delores, and she is just the best. She cares so much about the restaurant and the customers that come in and it shows. The food was amazing and the look and feel of the restuarant are so calming and warm. The price point of the food was amazing and we loved every moment of our time at Darwins. I watched the video on their site about how they source their food and it made a huge difference upon choosing this place. 10/10...

We used to really enjoy our visits to Darwins prior to Covid. Their food was amazing,great atmosphere and lovely decor. However having visited recently for the first time since Covid and what a major disappointment we incurred. We were shown to our table which had no Table Cloth, No Place mats and Paper serviettes. It actually looked more like a Table in a Cafe rather than a Restaurant. Food was extremely disappointing for Prices Charged. Portions Small €13 for about 8 Chicken Wings,€7.50 for 6 minute slices of bread with pesto.. €40 for a dry Rib Eye Steak and €34 for overcooked Salmon and on top of that €5.75 per portion for vegetables. The Wine List was very disappointing and way way overpriced. Very sad and disappointed to see Darwins has lost its atmosphere and it's ambience and in particular its quality of food. Cafe Food and...
